Pressure feels like a threat, but it’s not.

You feel pressure when your decisions matter, and people depend on you. It can feel uncomfortable at times, but it’s also a privilege. When no one relies on you — when no one expects something from you — you’re irrelevant.

Pressure is a privilege.

When we lack real problems, we create imaginary ones; when we lack meaningful work, we perfect the unimportant.

When you fall in love with the process rather than the outcome, you don’t have to wait to be happy.

It’s a truism that you always want to hire folks with very high standards, but I’ve seen a staggering number of folks fail in an organization primarily because they want to hold others to a higher standard than their organization’s management is willing to enforce.

Prepare as if this is your only opportunity, and perform as if nothing can go wrong.
